Supporting Students with Prevalent Medical Conditions
The support of students with prevalent medical conditions is complex requiring a whole-school approach to promote student health and safety and to foster and maintain healthy and safe environments in which students can learn. A safe, accepting, and healthy environment empowers students to reach their full potential for self-management of their medical condition(s) according to their Plan of Care (a form that contains individualized information on a student with a prevalent medical condition).
Please complete the appropriate Plan of Care provided below and submit to the main office via [email protected] within the first 30 days of each school year.
Concussion Protocol
Due to the seriousness of a concussion, school administrators, educators (including occasional teachers), school staff, students, parents/guardians, and identified school volunteers all have important roles to play in implementing the school board’s concussion protocols, i.e. prevention, identification, and ongoing monitoring and management of a student with a concussion.
The Ministry of Education expects all school boards in Ontario to develop and maintain a policy on concussion as outlined in the revised Policy/Program Memorandum No. 158: School Board Policies on Concussion.
The LDCSB Concussion Policy and Protocol is based on the Ontario Physical Activity Safety Standards in Education Protocol (OPASSE) Concussion Protocol, which the Ministry of Education considers to be the minimum standard. Minimum does not refer to minimal safety standards but to the minimum requirements for safety standards that must be followed in school-based activities.
All documents related to the LDCSB Concussion Protocol can be found on our board website:
